Well I went lookingg for my RGD thread, and here it is sort of.

I was going to say. if there is one thing I am finding out, it's that this matte finish on the RGD is super thin and easy to chip to bare wood.

MY Ibanez2127z with a BKP warpig in the bridge & a nailbomb in the neck.

This is by far one of the nicest Ibanez 7 strings I've ever seen, both with your finish and the pickups you have in it.

How does the Warpig sound? I would love an active EMG equipped Ibanez 7, but the hype people are giving the BKP Warpigs and Aftermaths is making me think I should consider those as well.

I thought his was the best place to ask especially that I'm new with 7-strings... what would be the best string set for a 7-string? I only have a humble RG7321. I only drop-A on the 7th string. I actually started a thread but things got complicated such as considering the fretboard length and all. So what is a good string set for my use and tune setting? I was thinking of the Ernie Ball Cobalt with 010, .013, .017, .030, .042, .052, .062. I tried something on right now but the 7th string is noodley after dropping to A.

^ Can hardly call that an RG7321 anymore, can you? ;)

Great work man. Did you do it yourself or get it done professionally?

I am not sure if I posted in this thread after getting my RG3727 as a friend for my RGD2127...

Super immaculate 98' 7620 VK, loaded with juggs and a brass block. Proper NGD will come when I receive my 91' 550 this Friday :)

Can I get in here too? Here's my J. Custom seven I got last spring, and I haven't put it down since. I may replace the 707s at some point but I'm enjoying how noiseless they are. This one came from the Japan J. Custom shop and has a really cool transparent gunmetal-type finish over the swamp ash body. It's very resonant, I knew I had to have it when I got my hands on it in the store.

I've been an RG guy for longer than I care to admit ... But I really enjoyed scrolling through this thread and seeing some of these fine machines!

That is absolutely beautiful. I think that is some kind of Rock Inn custom like 1 of 5? Amazing! Congrats!

Thanks! Yes, that's what I understand. They made a handful of these to be sold at one of the famed Tokyo guitar shops (you could very well be right about Rock Inn). I do my best to keep it in great shape ... but at the same time these guitars are meant to be PLAYED, which is why I love them.

I also have an RG570 from like 1998 which has a basswood body, and I think in comparison swamp ash is an excellent body wood for RG bodies, I hope they use it more in the future. Especially on a seven, it has a nice tight resonant character.

Of course that's just my opinion and could be total BS; I have no idea if other people detect the same thing!

2013 Ibanez RG7420 with a cracked mirror pick guard
I love white guitars for some reason but this seemed so bland, after a week of it bugging me I got different knobs, then got a mirror guard on ebay.ca with the intention of cracking the hell out of it! happy with the way it turned out, I have never seen a guard like this, at least not on a RG!
